Father of mercies, in Thy Word
What endless glory shines!
Forever by Thy name adored
For these celestial lines.

Here springs of consolation rise
To cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.

O may these heav'nly pages be
My ever dear delight,
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.

Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
Be Thou forever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,
And find my Savior there.

Amen.
